The original was about an armed robot that acquired a personality after a lightning strike, and tries to find purpose in his life, while trying to take down the very people who built him as a weapon..
Milano, who aside from writing and providing voices for the Adult Swim cartoon "Robot Chicken" and co-creating and playing the title character in "Greg the Bunny," figures to bring a subversive edge to the original film... really? How are you gonna make a movie edgey, when the original was more of an on-going joke rather than an immersive storyline? LOL..
Maybe they'll take the gangster Johnny 5 from Short Circuit 2.. "Los Locos kick your ass, Los Locos kick your face, Los Locos kicks your balls into ou-ter-spaaaaaace!"
"We're bringing Number 5 into the 21st Century and taking advantage of the improvements in robotics that are so massive that robots are now performing heart surgeries in hospitals," Foster said.
The producer said the robot's visual look won't change, even though Foster said Pixar's "Wall-E" is a dead ringer for the original "Short Circuit" protagonist. "We think of 'Wall-E' as an extended trailer for our film, because it's the same face," Foster said
So now that he's taking down the military, he's going to take on the healthcare industry!? While the plot is still yet to be revealed I don't see too many people itching to see this.. myself included, or if today's younger generation actually even remember this movie at all?
And does this mean the return of Steve Guttenburg?? Or the guy that played The Plague in Hackers? (Fisher Stevens) Need Input... Need Input
But I guess if the money is right... Wouldn't you like to be a pepper too?
